Hurricane Horse Relief....

Paints4me · 09-06-2005, 05:50 PM

I sold a halter on e-bay today, and the lady that bought it lived between New Orleans and Baton Rouge. She needed it for a Draft horse that showed up at her home... she took him in for the meantime till she finds his owners. He had been lost in the madness down there. Anyhow she sent me some info on how I could help and others can also. I don't know much about the organization but I thought I would pass on the information to you guys, so it might save some helpless animals. Thanks Erica

THANKS ERICA..........HERE IS INFORMATION ON A RESCUE ORGANIZATION FOR HORSES....PLEASE PASS ON IF YOU CAN...
THANKS AGAIN...

Subject: FW: Equine Rescue Group Helping Louisiana's Horses

Habitat for Horses/Lone Start Equine Rescue is organizing a massive
relief and rescue effort to help the equines of southern Louisiana after
the devastation of Hurricane Katrina forced millions to evacuate. A
large number of horses, mules and donkeys are now in danger of
starvation, injury and death if relief efforts are not immediately
taken. FEMA and the USDA are now in control of the areas most devastated
by the hurricane. As quickly as they allow, our emergency relief efforts
will start

Volunteers from Texas and Oklahoma will gather at a central staging area
and proceed to the designated sites in Louisiana. From that point,
trained rescue volunteers will proceed to any location where horses have
been spotted and attempt to extricate and transport them to safety,
where they will receive medical care from the Louisiana State
Veterinarian Office. All efforts will be made to contact the owners. If
contact cannot be made, the animals will be transported to another
location for recovery.

Habitat for Horses/Lone Start Equine Rescue will operate under the
guidance and control of FEMA and the USDA during this operation. This
operation is an all-volunteer effort, funded by donations from
individuals, companies and organizations around the United States.
Individuals with equine experience may join the organization and aid in
the relief efforts.

Financial donations are needed to help fund this massive undertaking.
Estimates range from several hundred to several thousand horses that are
currently lost, injured or in danger. Hay and feed will be needed in
large quantities, plus medical supplies such as bandages and
antiseptics. Trailers, temporary equine fencing, tarps, buckets new lead
ropes and halters are also needed.

Thank you for posting this - SHAME ON ME - I have not had time to do so myself, and I am a member. I can say this - we (LSER/HFH) have rescued many horses so far, and some have already been reunited with thier owners. Thank you to everyone that has contacted our group so far - and thank you for continuing to pass the word.
As I get them, with permission from the moderators, I will post the press releases that I receive. Keep up the great wonderful donations and support. Thank you so much everyone.
